UltimateSurrender.com will close out its 2008 Summer Vengeance season LIVE, streaming the first semifinal, second semifinal and championship matches live to site members each Tuesday evening for the next three weeks. The first Semifinal will take place tomorrow Tuesday, August 19 at 7pm, pitting Ultimate Surrender legend Syd Blakovich ("The Nightmare") against Darling ("The Grappler"). A cage fighter vs. a jujitsu student, this match could prove to be one of the closest in Ultimate Surrender's history, says Director Matt Williams.

Next Tuesday evening, August 26, Ariel X ("The Assassin")and Dia Zerva ("Iron Maiden") face each other in the Second Semifinal. The winners from those two matches will proceed to the final showdown to determine the best girl-girl fetish wrestler of the 2008 Summer Vengeance season. The two will wrestle in a live streamed Championship match on the evening of Tuesday, September 2.

In UltimateSurrender.com's four-round matches, the wrestling is unscripted and the female competitors use scissors, headlocks, pins and other real wrestling holds. Competitors start bikini-clad, losing their tops and then their bottoms in rounds one and two, finally wrestling nude in round three. Throughout those first three rounds, once a wrestler establishes a hold she acquires "style points" for subjecting her opponent to fingering, breast smothering, face-sitting, forced kissing and other humiliations. Her opponent receives "shame points" at the same time. In the fourth round, the winner of the match gets to fuck the loser, any way she wants.

During UltimateSurrender.com live shows, viewable only to members, video and audio are streamed in real time, and users can chat with the models, staff and each other, as well as private messaging other members. Users can also make suggestions as to how the fourth round will play out, giving the victorious wrestler ideas as to how best display and enforce her dominance over the loser.

In addition to its three matches streamed live, August 29th will see UltimateSurrender.com hosting a private audience tag team shoot for members and the press at Kink.com's San Francisco Armory, following on its hugely successful July shoot. The match features Team Purple — Amber Rayne ("The Rogue") and Alexa Von Tess ("The Badger") — facing off against Team Orange, consisting of Wenona ("The Gymnast") and Madison Young ("The Butcher").

Amidst the unfolding controversy surrounding Manhunt founder Johnathan Crutchley stepping down from the company's (perhaps non-existant) board in light of revelations that he contributed to John McCain's campaign, Express Gay News editor Dan Renzi is wondering what, if any, effect this will have on the sites 400,000 subscribers.

If you are (or were) a subscriber of Manhunt, take a second to make your voice heard in a poll he's conducting for an article he's writing on this subject.

While I find Crutchley's actions to be deplorable, I think its just awesome that we have a Republican presidential candidate who's willing to reach across the aisle and accept a donation from a man who runs an amateur gay porn company.

I don't think there's one subject that causes more drama for fans then gay-for-pay, unless it's bisexuality. Despite the mid-century debut of Kinsey's sexual continuum, bisexuality is to a certain segment of the gay population as evolution is to the evangelicals. Since I'm not looking to marry Zeb, just rub one out to him, I'll leave the speeches to Obama.
